Abstract
THE publication of five editions of a treatise on chemistry of the magnitude of ‘Molinari’ within the space of twenty years furnishes irrefutable evidence of the cordiality with which the book has been received by Italian chemists. The present volume follows the same general lines as its predecessors and completes volume 1, dealing with inorganic chemistry. Although the bulk of this second part exhibits no great advance beyond that of the corresponding portion of the fourth edition, descriptions of most recent developments of value have been added. Moreover, a number of entirely new sections are included, the most noteworthy being those on the low-temperature carbonisation of coal, decolorising vegetable carbons, pulverised coal, titanium pigments, and the borax industry of Tuscany. The important subjects of electrolytic soda and cement are accorded even more detailed treatment than formerly.
